Martins Motor Sports Modern Classics Show March 12, 2011

2011 see's Martin's Moto Sports first ever "Modern Classics" exhibit 100 bikes that represent the 60's-80's. Lots of amazing bikes in one room. Everyone who came to see the show got to vote on their favorite, though I'm not sure who won. I got a chance to play with new camera, so I'm still figuring out settings and what not, but I managed to shoot a handful of what was on display.
